- Description
- The Wakhan National Park (WNP) was established in 2014 and it includes the entire Wakhan District and home to about 15,000 people, most of them ethnic Wakhi or Krygyz. The park is said to cover over 4,200 square miles (about 10,878 kilometers) and borders Tajikistan, Pakistan and China. The region contains the headwaters of the Amu Darya River and is the place where the Hindu Kush and Pamir Mountains meet. It is reported to be 25 percent larger than Yellowstone National Park in the U.S. This new protected area is co-managed by the Afghanistan Government and local communities, providing livelihoods related to the park and improved services to one of the poorest and most isolated regions on earth.
